Electronic Health Records (EHR, EMR)

Dr. Rashmee Shah of the University of Utah Hospital says that in an age of countless sensors and data streams, what's needed is the collection and analysis of less, but more focused, patient data.

The palm print identity authentication system connects 750,000 patients to their Epic EHR – in one case, even when a patient was having a stroke and unable to speak.

Malaffi CEO Atif Albraiki says simultaneous provider projects, such as health information exchanges, make EMR adoption a challenge at times in the UAE, but he encourages stakeholders to learn from global experiences.

The nudges in reprogrammed electronic health records prompt medical assistants to set up a screening order for doctors to sign once they see the patient.

Louise Schaper, CEO of Health Informatics Society of Australia, says the manifestation of digital health issues locally may differ, but there are plenty of opportunities to share learnings from matters such as workforce.

Just under half (49 percent) of all post-acute providers surveyed said the state of their staff's health information technology proficiency is either "extremely poor" or "non-existent," a new Black Book report shows.

Researchers sought to assess and benchmark how physicians view electronic health record usability, as defined by a standardized metric, and use that to evaluate how poor UX correlates with feelings of job frustration and burnout.

Calls to the administrators on duty decreased from 274 before electronic notifications to 149 since implementation at Catawba Valley Medical Center.

Seqster's technology can collect users' EHR, DNA and wearables data, giving its customers the ability to share their health information on their terms, says founder and CEO Ardy Arianpour.

Philips Chief Nursing Officer Cindy Gaines, who toes the line between caregiver and technologist, has a unique view on value-based care, patient experience and population health.
